This is an HM2 sensation and Nothing less. Compareable to the first Bloodbath! So, if you're into HM2 you need this - no discussion. If you're not into HM2 give it a chance anyway. It's good enough to make a believer out of you. Those sweet brutality, catchy and crushing as all hell. And it even sounds quite modern. What are you waiting for?
Favorite track: Sacrifice.

Only on the opening track so far, but it's already sounding like a classic. Nihilistic HM-2 driven nastiness, with splashes of minor scale melody.
I can wear my new slime green Katakomba shirt with pride now. 🤘🤘

The perfect blend of Swedish and American Death Metal, Sentient Horror have got all the riffs, badass leads and song arrangements to call themselves one of the best in modern Death Metal. AOTY right here. Peter Carparelli
Le premier EeeaaarrK ! de l'album m'a convaincu. On peut pas entamer un album au chant comme ça et ensuite plus rien. Bah justement non, après, y a pas plus rien !
Bon attention, là faut maîtriser la double négation les ami.es.
Bref, un disque qui te promène dans un park d'attraction, où chaque attraction a pour but de te dévisser les os du squelette. gregory duveau
An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
The hefty and dire atmosphere is perfectly accentuated by that melodic guitar tone that weaves its way through each sprawling track adding clarity and beauty. However, it is all ripped down and muddied by the sinister vocals, which are that gravelly deep tone that befits both death and doom so wonderfully.
The pacing and song lengths on this album are spot on, and it again hits that sweet spot between both genres. When it veers into some more sludgy or brutal points, it is absolutely crushing. Lorenzo
